Most of the business negotiations are done by Modances. What Stephen has to do is to confirm which one he can endorse, then sign and approve, and then wait for the money to be collected. His main focus is still on the competition .Visit download txt novel

The situation of the Sonics is not the best among the three teams that are eligible to compete for the No. The position is relatively stable, and he may not necessarily work hard for an indifferent game.

And the final opponent is the Golden State Warriors, which is even more desireless, so the Sonics are likely to win the No. [-] crown in the Western Conference this season.

Last season, they didn't even make it to the playoffs. This season, they suddenly became number one in the division. Although it's not a rare thing. For example, the Boston Celtics didn't even make it to the playoffs last season. , but this season has become the league's first record.

Another example is the New Orleans Hornets, who also didn't even make the playoffs last season, but this season they have been at the top of the Western Conference for a long time.

However, this needs to be analyzed according to the specific situation. Such a big change has also taken place, but the difficulty index is different. The Boston Celtics went through a big deal that brought together Pierce, Gane The super luxurious lineup of the Big Three such as Teddy and Ray Allen.

Each of them has led the team to the playoffs alone, and their abilities are extraordinary. In this way, the team can only be compared with the Los Angeles Lakers, the former four kings. For such a lineup, they did not win the championship. It's a failure, and it's not surprising to be number one in the league.

The New Orleans Hornets, on the other hand, are a typical example of accumulation and accumulation. They have achieved their current achievements after several seasons of accumulation, while the Supersonics are basically a brand new team with no existing players left. In the next few days, I have experienced changes in the management, coaching staff, and core players. It is indeed surprising that I can get to the current point.

The more it gets to this time, the greater the controversy over Stephen. Some people think that the current achievements of the Supersonics are a manifestation of the overall decline in the strength of the Western Conference. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of the Seattle Supersonics and the New Orleans Hornets. One before two.

Because the original traditional strong team did not perform well this season, the San Antonio Spurs failed to recover from the loss of Steph, the Phoenix Suns became more and more known for their run-and-gun style, and the Dallas Mavericks experienced After the black eight, the damage to the heart is also very big.

It is precisely because of the poor state of these teams that it is the turn of the Seattle SuperSonics and the New Orleans Hornets to rise. Although this kind of argument is quite marketable, some people believe that the decline of traditional strong teams and the rise of emerging teams Rising, this is a normal alternation of old and new, and it does not mean that their record is watery. Stephen's ability and role still cannot be erased.

The reason why there is such a big controversy is mainly because Stephen’s performance exceeded too many people’s expectations, and the Sonics’ record also exceeded too many people’s expectations. The combination of the two makes people feel that their performance is a bit Incredible.

If the Sonics can win the last two games, they will have a record of 64 wins and 63 losses. This result is already the highest record in the history of the Sonics. Their highest record is [-] wins and [-] losses.

Of course, this season the Boston Celtics may have a record of 66 wins and 67 losses. Last season, the Dallas Mavericks even had a record of [-] wins and [-] losses, but in the end they were defeated by the Golden State Warriors. Black eight, so the record in the regular season has nothing to do with the playoffs. The team that won the championship in the past is not necessarily the team with the best record.

Before the game against the Dallas Mavericks, Carlesimo reminded everyone when analyzing the game that although the Dallas Mavericks will not fight with the Sonics, it does not mean that the Sonics can relax. up.

In this game, the Dallas Mavericks have nothing to desire, but the Sonics are different. If they lose this game, they will be farther away from the first place in the Western Conference. Unless the other two teams also lose, otherwise they will When the West is third.

If they fall to third place in the Western Conference, the Supersonics will have to face the Houston Rockets. Although the Rockets' strength is not too high, such a defensive player is extra uncomfortable to play, and it is not so easy to win.

On the contrary, whether it is against the Phoenix Suns or the Denver Nuggets, they are all offensive teams. Playing such a team, the Sonics have extra experience, as long as they try their best to play their own abilities.

Although the Dallas Mavericks played very hard in this game, they did not have the determination to win it with all their might. But even so, it was not so easy to win. The two sides fought hard in the first quarter. It turned out that the Sonics were two points behind.

In fact, I don’t blame the Mavericks for taking the lead. The main reason is that their three-pointers today are too bad. Dirk Nowitzki, the core of the team, scored four three-pointers alone. Here, except for Stephen's two missed shots from outside the three-point line, the shooting percentage of the others outside the three-point line is not too ideal.

One side has a shooting percentage of more than 60.00%, and the other side has a shooting percentage of more than 20.00%. If you lose a game, it will be too depressing.

In the second quarter, the Sonics launched a fierce counterattack, but only took the lead for a short time, and was soon overtaken by the Dallas Mavericks. The psychological coping of this game is not enough.

Against a strong team like the Dallas Mavericks, the Sonics didn't have much of a strength advantage, and a little bit of mental relaxation caused the game to fall behind. But it also brought out the state of the Mavericks.

When the touch outside the three-point line was not very good, Stephen began to attack the basket frequently, constantly hitting the Mavericks' basket to score. The Mavericks had no good way to do this. There is an outside defensive player, and there must be a player on the inside who is good at supplementary defense or assisting defense, but the Mavericks don't have such a player.

Faced with Stephen's continuous offensive, the Mavericks had no choice but to use offense instead of defense. Fortunately, in their lineup today, apart from Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry also had a very good touch. Not a great [-]-pointer, but a pretty good [-]-pointer.

Coupled with Jason Kidd's threading through the needle, the Mavericks' cooperative offensive ability is several grades higher than before. If it weren't for Szczerbiak who replaced Durant on the field, he gave Stephen a lot of help from outside the three-point line , so that the Mavericks have not been able to lead the Supersonics by a big score, and Stephen alone cannot suppress the efforts of the opposing team.

With only one minute and 22 seconds left in the second quarter, the Sonics were still four points behind the opponent. At this time, Stephen first used a slip to the baseline to catch the ball and dunk and scored. Jason Kidd just passed the ball. From the field line, he immediately made a pass across the entire half court and passed the ball to Paul George.

As soon as Paul George received the ball, before his hands were warmed up, Stephen made a sudden move and completed a steal from his hands, pointing the ball up from the bottom of his hand, and then Stephen flew into the air to receive the ball.

As the steals leader this season, most people are confused by Stephen's scoring data, forgetting that Stephen's steals are also very good, averaging nearly [-] steals per game far ahead of Chris Paul's [-] , At the same time, this is also the first time in more than ten seasons that he has averaged more than three steals per game.

After the steal, Stephen immediately dribbled the ball to increase his speed to the extreme, and rushed towards the frontcourt. At this time, Nowitzki had just run across the midfield line after serving the ball. Seeing Stephen successfully stealing and preparing to launch a fast break, he immediately moved horizontally Move over, ready to block Stephen.

When Stephen saw Nowitzki moving over, he hurriedly speeded up again, trying to avoid Nowitzki's interception one step ahead of time, but who knew that Nowitzki also accelerated the speed, and the two just collided, although Stephen was in contact with the two There was a turning and avoiding movement when he was on the ground, but Nowitzki was knocked to the ground heavily.

It is not surprising that this happens. On the one hand, Stephen is traveling at a high speed, with acceleration factors. On the other hand, Stephen is also famous for his strength.

This situation is not surprising. The referee immediately awarded Nowitzki a blocking foul. Since Stephen has not passed Nowitzki, but Nowitzki did not foul from behind, so it cannot be regarded as a technical foul. .

But after the unexpected Nowitzki fell down, he hugged his knees and cried out in pain. The team doctor of the Mavericks immediately ran over nervously. He got up and looked at this side with concern, but it was a pity that he couldn't see the specific situation among a group of elders clearly due to his height.

After a simple diagnosis, the team doctor decided to help Nowitzki to the field for further treatment. According to the replayed video and Nowitzki’s description, the team doctor felt that a muscle or ligament was strained or sprained, but fortunately it was not a bone. The problem.

In the video playback, it can be clearly seen that when Stephen hit Nowitzki, he did dodge, but it was his evasion that knocked Nowitzki to the ground, and then fell. At that moment, Nowitzki's foot twisted.

The fans in Dallas couldn't help raising their hearts to their throats when they saw this. When the playoffs were about to start, their star was injured, but it was definitely not a good sign. I hope it won't be too serious, but what disappointed them was , After entering the locker room from the halftime break, Nowitzki did not return to the game throughout the second half, and the Mavericks naturally lost the game.
